The Scottish Rite Cathedral is a historic building designed by architect George F. Schreiber and located in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It is owned by the Valley of Indianapolis Scottish Rite, an affiliated body of Freemasonry. It was built between 1927 and 1929 at the cost of $2.5 million.[2] Every dimension of the structure (in feet) is evenly divisible by three (reflecting the three degrees in Freemasonry), with many also being divisible by 33 (reflecting the degrees a member of the Scottish Rite can achieve).[3]

The Cathedral is one of the largest Masonic buildings, and has been described as one of the finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United States[4] The main tower features a 54-bell carillon and rises {{convert|212|ft|m|abbr=on}} above Indianapolis.[5] It also has a floating ballroom.[4] Other features are patterned ceilings, ornate carved woodwork, and stained-glass windows. The auditorium has 1200 seats, and has been commended for the craftsmanship with which its fittings and decorations were made.[6] It also has a large pipe organ.[7]

The main entrance, known as the Tiler's Room, is a {{convert|33|ft|m|abbr=|adj=on}} cube. It features both Masonic symbols and the signs of the Zodiac.[8]

The ballroom also embodies the number 33 by being {{convert|99|ft|m}} square, with pillars defining the dancing area as {{convert|66|ft|m|abbr=on}} square, and the white oak floor panels being {{convert|33|in|mm|abbr=on}} square. The chandelier has 200 lights and weighs {{convert|2500|lb|kg|abbr=on}}. The ballroom was designed in an Elizabethan architectural style.[9]

In a 1996 poll, the Indianapolis Business Journal found the Cathedral to be the most popular historic building in the city, and the second favorite building of any type. In recent years it has received about 100,000 visitors a year.[10]

The Valley of Indianapolis is the only Scottish Rite Valley in the nation with an orchestra in residence, the Scottish Rite Orchestra, conducted by Ill. Jeffrey S. Warbinton, 33˚. The orchestra was founded in 1946 by Fabien Sevitzky, then conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.

Guided tours are available on Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
